Local Lions Club
Elects Officers For
The Ensuing Year
After finishing another good church
luncheon last Tuesday noon; this
time by the ladies of the First Pres-
byterian Church—several song's were
sung from the-new Lions Song Book
with Lion Hayden Edwards as leader
and Lioness Fern Bronstad accom-
panying at the piano, the regular roll
call of members was dispensed with
because of the absence of Secretary
Chas. R. Nelson and also the secre-
tary’s book.
The election of officers for the en-
suing Lions year was as follows: Jack
C. Tucker, president; V. D. Goodall,
1st vice president; O. E. Pierson, 2nd
vice president; M. J. Hoff, 3rd vice
president; Ed Handley, Lion Tamer;
Hayden Edwards, Tail Twister; Al-
fonso Mitchell, secretary-treasurer;
W. D. Nuckols, C. G. Bronstad, Tom
Parks and Robt."L. Baldridge, direc-
tors. Lion H. P. Baur was elected song
leader and musical director for the
club, a position heretofore not filled
by election.
A number of distinguished guests
were introduced by the newly elected
First vice president V. D. Goodall
who took the chair to finish presiding
at the meeting as President-elect Jack
Tucker was not present: Albert Baur,
a medical student who is visiting in
the home of his brother, Rev. H. P.
Baur, at Womack; Barron Fallis of
Eldorado; former Lion member An-
drew Byers and Mrs. Byers with
their small son, now of Taylor; Rev.
and Mrs. M. W, Doggett of Hearne,
and Mrs. Fred A. Hopkins. Interest-
ing talks were made by each of the
gentleman visitors; the visiting ladies
being excused this time.
Lion Ed Handley made an interest-
ing report on some fine road work
that has been done in the vicinity of
Clifton, and also reported that the
new county power gravel loader and a
road crew would work several months
in this precinct beginning this week,
and that much results would be no-
ticeable on the lateral roads leading
into Clifton at the end of that time.
The first fine collected by the newly
elected Lion Tamer Hayden Edwards
was from Milford Hoff for some mis-
use of the English language during
a stated meeting of the club then in
session.
One thing noticeable about the act-
ing President was that he closed the
meeting right on the stated time for
such an act, and to do this meets with
the approval of all members as it is
often ve(y necessary that most of
them return to their work.
LIONS’ GOVERNOR

At the recent Lions’ Convention
held at Tyler, William L. Baine of
Waco was elected District-Governor.
Along wth the local Lions Club, Dis-

ACCIDENTAL SHOT FATAL
Demonstration of Goat
Dipping by Lawrence
Beginning his goat dipping dem-
onstrations for the year, E. R. Law-
rence, County Agent, dipped 500
goats at the Ward & Rush Ranch, 5
miles northwest from Morgan on the
Eulogy road, Tuesday morning, June
8.
In this demonstration, the goat vat
which was used is constructed simi-
larly to the cattle vat. It was ob-
served that a vat of this type requires
mdre labor than the circular vat
which is made for goat dipping.
Instead of a regular arsenical dip,
the wettable sulpuhur suspension was
used. In using this wettable sulphur,
the goats are dipped for the second
time ten days after the first dipping.
This is merely a precaution for lice
which have hatched out since the first
dipping. The sulphur will kll any lice
found i nthe mohair but it will not kill
the egg, therefore the second dipping
is necessary.
The second dipping for these 500
goats will be held June 18 along with
2700 goats which have not been
dipped previously. The second dip-
ping for the added 2700 goats will
be on June 28.
A second demonstration, showing
the advantages of the circular vat,
which has been constructed recently,
will be held at the Rush Ranch, five
miles northwest from Meridian on
the Walnut Springs road on June 15.
The number of goats involved in this
dipping is 1200 and the final dipping
will take place on June 25.
Mr. Lawrence states that if stock
farmers in the county who anticipate
dipping goats wish to attend these
dippings, they are cordially invited.
